Sun Mei approached the group huddled around Addy. She hadn't known the group or Addy very long but she knew they were like a family thrown together because of the apocalypse. Kneeling next to the unmoving figure Sun Mei arrived just in time to see Addy's chest stop rising. It wouldn't be long before Addy's heart stopped beating, if it wasn't already so she got to work.

Checking for a pulse, Sun Mei silently nodded to the others who were crying that she was still alive and immediately started CPR and mouth to mouth.

"Make sure to hold her down in case she does turn Z," she strained to get out between breaths of air. Sun Mei was just about to give up and mercy the poor girl when suddenly she saw the soft rise of her chest and heard a small intake of air. Addy's head shot up, eyes wide with alarm before crying in pain at the movement.

"Oh my god, Addy." Said Doc, still holding her down as to not let the girl hurt herself too much. Sun Mei's only concern was to keep this girl alive so the next step was getting her somewhere safer. The Man could attack them at any time, but before they could move the knife had to come out of the redhead's chest so it didn't do any more damage.

"Ok, Doc and Warren I need you to hold her absolutely still, I need to take the knife out before we move her. Once the knife is out Warren put as much possible pressure on the wound and stop the bleeding at all costs, I don't care if you break her ribs from the pressure, if this girl loses any more blood than she already has, she will die. Got it?" They both nodded, saying nothing. "Ok, on the count of three," Addy was in and out of it, mumbling Warrens name over and over while trying to swat away whoever or whatever was holding her down, failing because of the restraints on her arm.

"Addy, honey, you're going to be ok," Warren soothed the girl.

"One, two," Sun Mei grabbed the hilt and took a deep breath. "Three." She did the best she could to pull the blade out of Addy's chest at the exact angle it went in, but nobody's perfect. The blade came out slowly, Addy just a screaming, trying to jerk away from the pain but thankfully Doc and Warren did their jobs. The exact second the blade was out Warren put her shirt on the wound and pushed down as hard as she could.

"Ok Doc, lets go." Working together, the trio picked Addy up and managed to move her to the room everyone else was in. 10K was sitting on the staircase with Red and 5K, while Murphy was with Lucy, holding her and telling her it would be ok.

"Addy," 10K jumped up but started to sway on his feet, Red there supporting him. "What the hell happened?" He asked.

"It won't matter if we don't get her to the cars within the next couple of minutes, because she is dying," Sun Mei stated. "Lets go, now!" Everyone jumped up and lead the way while Sun Mei and Doc carried Addy and Warren kept the bleeding down as best she could.

"Keep a lookout for The Man, he is still out there," Warren stated, unable to protect herself due to her current problem.

"This way, come on!" Red shouted from ahead, still carrying 10K. Murphy nodded to Lucy who went over and stood behind 10K and them before he made his way to the Doc.

"I got her, Doc," the old man was reluctant to let go of Addy but knew Murphy was bigger and stronger than himself, and knew it was best for her. He stepped to the side and pulled out his gun, leading the way at the front as Murphy slipped his shoulder under Addy and carried. It went much faster and they covered more ground this way and in no time were at the cars. Murphy jumped in the driver's seat, Lucy in the passengers. Pulling the back seats down, Sun Mei climbed in and pulled Addy with her, laying the dying girl down, Warren never letting off the pressure even the slightest. Doc climbed in and was already throwing stuff out of his bag that they would need.

"Here's some oxycontin," he said, not even the least bit saddened at losing his stash if it meant helping Addy. Sun Mei nodded.

"Murphy drive! Avoid any bumps as best you can but get us back to Spokane as fast as you can," Warren said.

"Warren…" Addy mumbled, reaching out a bloody hand and placing it on Warrens hands, still on her wound. "Hurts," was all she got out before her head went limp, falling to the side.

"Come on, Addy. Don't give up now, hang in there kiddo," Doc said. Sun Mei had a pair of scissors out cutting Addy's shirt open, revealing the wound right above her heart still bleeding through Warrens shirt.

"Ok Warren, in just a second I am going to need you to take your hands off her wound while I try and stop the bleeding with a clotting agent. After the bleeding stops for a bit, I'll attempt to stitch it closed while you and Doc hold her as steady as possible. Got it?" Warren nodded. "Ok, and now!" Sun Mei shouted. Everyone did as they were told and it went smoothly except for a few bumps here and there and the fact that the wound wouldn't stop bleeding, just slowed.

"Is she going to be ok?" Warren asked, looking at the redhead laying down almost peacefully.

"I don't know," Sun Mei wiped her forehead with the back of her bloody hand before leaning against the car. "She lost a lot of blood. Doc I need you to make sure she doesn't move too much, and let me know if it starts bleeding too bad." Sun Mei looked to Addy, shirt cut open with a white bandage above her heart, her bra and black shirt stained beyond saving. "I did as best I could," she whispered to herself. "Warren it's your turn," Warren looked up from staring at Addy.

"I'm fine, Sun Mei." The woman waved her off.

"It's funny you think you have a choice," Sun Mei scooted over to Warren and helped the older woman take her shirt off before she got to work.

"Is Aunt Addy going to be ok?" Lucy asked Doc.

"I don't know sweetheart, I sure do hope so 'coz the kid is a fighter." The blond haired child turned to her father.

"Daddy you have to hurry, you can't let Aunt Addy die!" She pouted. Murphy chanced a look to his daughter, smiling.

"Dad's gonna try his hardest not to let Aunt Addy die. Why don't you tell us how you know she's your Aunt?" He asked instead, changing the subject and genuinely curious as to why Lucy called her Aunt Addy.

"Oh, well Aunt Addy and I hid from Doc playing hide and seek, and Aunt Addy always tried to protect me, she kept me safe from that mean man and took me shopping," Murphy laughed. "What's so funny?"

"Nothing sweety," he said.

"And she and Doc told me how you and Mommy are the King and Queen of the Apocalypse, about how you met, and Aunt Addy also told me about how sometimes people like Mommy die." She looked back to Addy. "Is Addy going to die, daddy?" She asked sadly.

"I don't know sweety," Murphy stated. He had thought about biting her like he had done with 10K but he had known the girl long enough to know that's not what she would've wanted. Murphy was thankful that Addy went so far as to take a beating and almost drown, even shooting The Man to protect his daughter. When they arrived at Spokane he was going to make sure to increase security and put all his resources into helping Addy. It was the least he could do for her.

After patching Warren's shoulder up, Sun Mei turned back to Addy who was breathing raggedly. She wish she could do more but she was just a scientist, not a doctor. She had pulled out Addy's wisdom tooth after being attacked by the Red Hand but that was about it, other than basic aid.

"What's wrong with her breathing?" Warren asked as she put her coat back on.

"I think it's all the strain on her body from the last 24 hours catching up to her. Hopefully it doesn't become to much of a problem because we don't have the right items to save her if her lungs collapse," stated Sun Mei before turning to Murphy. "How much longer until we're there?"

"Uhhh, it shouldn't be too long. Ten minutes maybe?" Everyone sat down and relaxed for the first time in awhile, all staring at Addy the whole time. Sun Mei could see the sweat on Addy's forehead but also took notice to how pale the girl was. She was going to need antibiotics when they reached Spokane. Sun Mei shrugged out of her leather jacket and covered Addy up with it, trying to keep her as modest as possible.

"Do you have antibiotics at Spokane Murphy?" She broke the silence.

"Yea, I think so. We stocked up on medicine from a hospital pharmacy a few days ago, not counting all the chemicals and supplies I had for ." It felt like an eternity before they could finally see Spokane in the distance.

"Murphy I know you have your daughter but you're the strongest one here right now so when we get there I am going to need you to gently carry Addy to the lab or medical room. Doc and I will be in there and I'll need a long term room for her to stay in. Also, do you have blood bags and IV there?" Murphy tried to think hard. He never really cared what they had in the room, that was for until she died.

"I'm not sure Ms…?" He looked back to her.

"Sun Mei. Call me Sun for short or Mei."

"Ok Mei I don't know about all the medical equipment but I can carry her up. I'm taking us to my main headquarters. The rest I can have arranged later," Murphy said. If he was being honest with himself he wasn't sure why he was doing all this for the dying girl other than his daughter. Murphy could say Addy had definitely been one of the nicer people on his thousands of miles trek here and could say that he was friends with her, with the exception of the time that she beat the crap out of him when her boyfriend died.

Two minutes later they arrived at Murphy's headquarters and everyone jumped out the back of the car, the large almost human looking man opening the side door. Sun Mei and Warren helped Murphy get Addy out of the car as gently as they could and carry her through a pit of walkers, a moat as 10K explained. Several men with guns tried to stop them from entering the building until they saw Murphy carrying a pale girl, yelling at them to move. When they got to the medical room, Sun Mei kicked everyone out except Warren and Doc.

Outside the room, Lucy grabbed her father's hand and hugged him. Unsure what to do, Murphy awkwardly patted the small blue girls back and hugged back. Red, 10K and 5K all sat on the ground just outside the door waiting.

When one of his blends passed by, Murphy asked her to grab everyone the most comfortable chairs he had.

"Listen, I will be back and if anyone gives you trouble ask for me, but I need to talk to my daughter," he told them, specifically 10K. "I'll be back with something for you too, kid."

Murphy walked off, leading Lucy to the nursery he had built for her. He smiled, knowing there was no reason for the entire nursery after all. Lucy sat down on the closest couch, her father following.

"Why aren't you blue, daddy?" She asked immediately. "I mean, you are my dad right?"

"Yes I am sweety. I take this special drink that turns my skin white," he explained.

"Oh. Why don't you want to be blue? Do you not want to be like me?" Murphy's eyes widened.

"Not at all! I want to be exactly like you, it's just that daddy was trying something." Lucy relaxed a bit at the news.

"Why isn't Aunt Addy blue? Is she trying something too?" Murphy laughed.

"Yea she is. Did she tell you she's your Aunt?" Lucy shook her head.

"No, she just acts a lot like it so she is my aunt."

10K hurt all over as he stood up and sat into the chair a blend had brought him, Red and 5K. He didn't know what was going on in the lab but he could hear things moving around.

"How do you feel," asked Red as she put her hand on 10K's forehead.

"I'll be fine. I'm more worried for Addy right now anyways," Red looked a bit jealous.

"Did anything ever happen between you two?" 10K immediately shook his head.

"She's like a big sister to me, nothing else. If I had a bullet for every time she saved me and vice versa, the apocalypse would be over. We're a family." Red nodded her head before leaning against 10K and falling asleep.

Inside the lab Sun Mei and Doc had fixed Addy up completely, every cut bandaged or stitched up, the knife wound had stopped fatally bleeding and her wrist was properly wrapped and casted. An IV bag with fluids hung from her bedside, which was really just a metal table that a dead Z had occupied before they got here with a pillow under her head while Warren sat beside her side with a tube in her arm taking blood from the older woman and putting it into Addy. Turns out Addy and her shared the same blood, AB- which was the rarest and hardest to get in life before the apocalypse, let alone during. Doc sat on the other side of Addy with a bowl of water and a rag cleaning the redhead up as best he could. Addy was in her black pants and bra, shirt discarded long ago, with Sun Mei's leather jacket acting as a blanket for the time being.

"The next hours will be the hardest, determining weather she lives or not…" Sun Mei whispered to the occupants of the room. "Now if you will excuse me, I need to go clean up," she stood and left the room. Warren turned to Doc.

"Hey Doc," he looked up from where he was currently wiping blood away carefully around Addy's stitched forehead.

"Hmm?"

"She'll be ok, we both know that."

"Yea, I hope so. After," he cleared his throat," After Mack died, I thought she was broken for good but time showed me I was wrong. She and I are close, ya know? She's told me stuff she doesn't tell anyone else. Like the time we were at that hotel with the 'talking stick' group, which was so bogus by the way, she told me how that Dana chick kept checking her out." He laughed as did Warren.

"Yea when Vasquez and I saved her and Dana in the closet, they both looked startled that we were there and Addy instantly blushed. I know she's bisexual, Doc. I've seen the way she looks at Sun Mei," they both laughed again.

"Pretty sure when the Red Hand was after us and Addy had her wisdom tooth pulled she was so angry at herself for hurting Sun Mei. Head butted her right in the nose, she did. She was hell bent on NOT having that tooth pulled," by the time Doc finished his story they both were laughing uncontrollably.

"If you asswipes don't quite down I'll break this cast off on your faces," a small voice said below the two laughers, stopping them abruptly.

"Addy!" Doc exclaimed. "Look who's awake!" Addy winced at her splitting headache, Doc not helping.

"I thought I said quiet down," she mumbled, trying to move her hands only to find she physically couldn't due to not having any energy. "Water?" She asked instead, Doc jumping up to fulfill her wish.

"Addy hey how do you feel?" Warren asked, hovering over the redhead.

"I feel like I've been beaten, drowned, knocked unconscious and stabbed. Oh, and fell down a flight of stairs," she looks around the room before turning with all her strength to look at Warren. "Am I dreaming or did that really all happen?" Doc came back with a cup of water from the sink, handing it to Warren.

"I'm going to go find Sun Mei, be right back Adds," the old man said, taking off towards the door. Warren, tube still transferring blood to Addy, sat up and brought the cup to the redheads lips.

"No it wasn't a dreams Addy. You almost died, twice in one day. You need to get rest, sweety. I'll be here when you wake up, I promise," Warren kissed her head before sitting down again, watching as Addy slowly closed her eyes and fell asleep. It wasn't long before Warren was sleeping as well when Sun Mei and Doc came in, both keeping quiet as not to wake the other girls up.

"Oh, Addy," Sun Mei said in a hushed tone, approaching the girl before taking her hand and sitting down. "I'm going to stay here, ok Doc?" She told the man who nodded in response.

"I am too, they have nice chairs in here," he went to the door and opened it up so 10K, Red and 5K could come in. A few minutes later they all were sleeping, hoping that when they woke all would be ok.
